Titus Flavius Domitianus (A.D. 51-96, reigned 81-96) was one of the most brutal rulers of the Empire. He inherited rule from his father Vespasian and brother Titus, both famous for military victories and hard work. Domitian rewarded administrators who were efficient and not corrupt, but he was insecure, suspicious, and vindictive to relatives and the Senate.
